  Key Concepts: 
  Two-envelope RFx response evaluation is a process used in public sector procurement to evaluate bids from suppliers. It involves two separate envelopes, one containing the supplier's technical proposal and the other containing their financial proposal. The two envelopes are opened separately and evaluated independently, allowing for a fair and transparent evaluation process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The two-envelope RFx response evaluation process is used in SAP PSM-GPR Procurement for Public Sector. The process begins with the issuing of an RFx (Request for Proposal) to potential suppliers. The suppliers then submit their proposals in two separate envelopes, one containing the technical proposal and the other containing the financial proposal. The two envelopes are then opened separately and evaluated independently by the procurement team. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When evaluating the technical proposals, it is important to ensure that all criteria are met and that all requirements are fulfilled. When evaluating the financial proposals, it is important to compare the prices of each supplier to ensure that the best value for money is achieved.
